Cycle Cyclades

The Cyclades are the most popular destination islands in Greece. Be one of the few visitors who cycles around the islands, ferry hopping from Andros to Santorini with Mykonos, Paros and Naxos in between. The Cyclades has mountains to ascend, but none steep enough to intimidate the moderate cyclist. Each island is a honeymoon-type haven with romantic seaside vistas, whitewashed houses, windmills, olive groves and ancient ruins.

Each island has its own signature charm. Andros is big but with few foreign tourists, so it retains a traditional charm Mykonos is famous for its cosmopolitan sophistication, while still being a simple island. Paros is quiet and unassuming with no major ruins to speak of but popular with Greeks and foreigners alike. Naxos has ruins and sandy beaches and an extensive network of asphalt roads. Santorini ‘s world famous sunsets and white volcanic cliffs make it a “must see” destination for lovers and travel connoisseurs.

Special Guest Cyclist Brady Kiesling, a former U.S. diplomat stationed in Greece, author and archaeologist with an expertise in Greek history and archaeology will give daily lectures during the cycling portion of the tour.
